SCOTUS struggles to find a search and seizure rule for the digital age (Ars Technica): http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/04/scotus-struggles-to-find-a-search-and-seizure-rule-for-the-digital-age/ "Kerr suggests that the majority of the court seeks a rule that would bring about what he calls an bquilibrium-adjustment, whereby the present balance of government power is shifted from physical evidence to digital evidence. Kerr however, argues that such a middle-ground approach would not be easy to achieve in reality because of how difficult it'd be to apply. Chief Justice John Roberts, in looking to craft such a middle-ground rule for cell phone searches, suggested that the court might seek to draw a distinction between public versus private search information on a cell phone, hoping to determine what the proper line is for an appropriate search incident to arrest." - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
